I'm excited about going back to 'Today,' but, at odd moments, I'll grit my teeth in anxiety. I feel like a student before the start of school.

It is odd what notions men seem to have of the scantiness of a woman's resources. They do not find it anything out of nature that they should be able to exist by themselves; but a woman must always be borne about on somebody's shoulders, and dandled or chirped to, or it is supposed she will fall into the blackest melancholy! Jane Welsh Carlyle

You Men First Else Everything Everything Else Independent Mad Mad Men Has-Been Independent Movies TV Because Odd Go Erased Been Did Done Happen After Movies Actor Ever Thing Loads

With 'Puddle Cruiser,' the first 15 minutes are the weakest. When you're total unknowns and you have a weak opening, it's a real problem.

You Problem First Before Unknowns Weak Weakest Introduce See Total Some Minutes Counteract Opening Got Real Odd Real Problem Going Movie Sketches Show Even Film

I come from a TV background, so for me this more like doing a freeing theatre piece because we'd go into a room and do the scene, instead of doing it as a wide shot, medium shot, and close up with only the odd line of dialogue. Jennifer Sky

Me Theatre Medium Background TV More Only Scene Instead Freeing Come Like Piece Because Dialogue Doing Odd Go Line Up Close Close-Up Room Shot Wide

I've done a lot of odd jobs, including waitressing, which most actors have done. I was a busboy - girl - when I was younger and sold things at little fairs when I was younger.

I started out mopping floors, waiting tables, and tending bar at my dad's tavern. I put myself through school working odd jobs and night shifts. I poured my heart and soul into a small business.

I have an occasionally recurring stutter, but not when in character on stage in a play. Odd. James Earl Jones has the same pattern; he stutters in everyday life but not when acting.

Acting is a win-win situation. There is no risk involved. That's why I get tired of hearing actors who try to make out that there's a downside to it. Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it's really not bad. John Corbett

Fight Reality Will Back Bit Hills Read Odd Go Mix Off Ordinary Ordinary Things Fantasy Then Farmer Fascinating Things

Victorian racehorse owners frequently named their horses after murderers. That was so astonishing. Can you imagine the equivalent today, with a horse named, say, Boston Strangler, running in the Kentucky Derby? This was a new discovery. The Victorians didn't think it was odd, so no one ever mentioned it particularly. Judith Flanders

Today You Think Astonishing Say Running Boston Horse Mentioned Horses No-One New Named Particularly Frequently Equivalent Odd Discovery Owners After Victorian Derby Ever Kentucky Imagine

I was pretty young when my father was prime minister, so it wasn't really a big part of my life. My folks were away a lot, meeting foreign dignitaries and that sort of thing, but it never struck me as odd. If anything it allowed me to get into all sorts of mischief. Julian McMahon
